Lee Dong Wook said that filming this movie reminded him of his past relationships, saying, "I thought I might have been a lot of jerks, so I started to reflect on them. I felt that even if you spend the same amount of time and have the same conversation, you can look at it from a completely different perspective."

He said, "As much as I can relate to the character, I wanted to show it to the audience," and "I think there will definitely be a moment when male audiences want to 'kick the futon.'"

He continued, "My real self is very similar to Youngho. It's been a long time since I've been single, so I'm getting more and more used to it and getting comfortable. But he's not as much of a solo cultist as Youngho."

He said, "I'm waiting for a good relationship to come to me someday," adding, "I've always wanted to get married, and I also want to have a baby. But I don't think I'm mature enough to start a family yet."

Regarding his view of love, he said, "I used to approach him first, but now that I'm in my 40s, I'm more and more withdrawn," adding, "I'm the type of person who always confesses first. I thought it would be a bit silly to get a woman to confess."

Saying that he thinks laughter code is important when dating, Lee Dong Wook confessed, "Looking back, I think I was happiest when I was in a relationship with people I could talk to."

Lastly, Lee Dong Wook talked about the single life he has been enjoying lately, saying, "I tend to lie down very actively. It's nice to not be restricted by anyone," he said, adding that he watches all kinds of sporting events.
